    Recent Moderoid kits are very simple and require very little in the skills department. As long as you got something to clip out the parts and smooth the nubs, then you can succeed

    If I were to pick one over the other, I’d definitely pick plus. I like the details and the attention to action. You really get to see what’s happening. 2 does things so quick that you don’t really get to see much as far as details and things that seem cool are off screen in seconds if not milliseconds. although, I’d definitely pick 2 over most later macross stuff

    With how rough it’s becoming for the average hobbyist, maybe we should start a thread to explain the different issues with certain sites and where the best spots for preordering and best spots for shipping or lowest costs overall kind of discussions for our favorite models. Like some just won’t offer Bandai kits while a place like Hlj might not get a guaranteed amount in their shipments or how some items won’t be available to people in the U.S. and options for finding those.

    They are mostly focused on the 1/35 kits, but I’m pretty sure we’ll see more 1/24. Keep in mind that they are a slower company and even with 1/35 they usually don’t do more than one or two kits a year. There’s also the Plamax kits in that scale as well, so I think that so far they are trying not to step on each others toes, but I’d say it might be a little bit of a wait for the next larger kit release from either company

    Oddly there is a YouTube guy that immigrated from Britain to the U.S. that has a YouTube channel called Lost in the Pond where he talks about the differences he’s noticed from both countries over the years and recently did a video of name changes of movies from the USA to England when they pop up overseas. It was the first time I ever heard there was a different Dennis the Menace comic on that side of the pond. He didn’t really have time to go over every movie or anything, just the ones he could remember off hand for the most part. Fun little channel for fun useless information

    Some mostly earlier kits used stickers, but most of the recent ones have pre painted pats and waterslide decals for markings. Am currently doing the Tekkaman Blade kit and it does have two and only two almost unnoticeable parts that are not in their proper colors on the back of the heal. Other than that it’s perfect color accuracy with pre painted metallic eyes and one part that is prepainted red for color accuracy. Basically if you’re a lazy builder and just want to slap the thing together, you’ll do better than a Bandai kit. Articulation is pretty great as well. With the Mospeada kits, it does list markings with waterslide decals, something extremely rare in Bandai kits and pre painted faces. And don’t forget to check out the hand details, because they even did the stitching on the gloves, and extra hands, something Bandai tends to forget about sometimes. I don’t doubt there will be a few details here and there that could use a bit of work, but I don’t think it would be too much or even highly noticeable

    Basically how I feel. Good ending not perfect , leave some room for a few things if they sector explore them. There’s a Nancy Wheeler set of novels popping up similar to Nancy Drew mysteries, that I’ll probably never read

    I find that that happens more with duller surfaces. Like the gloss colors are already wet looking and don’t really change, but sometimes the duller ones darken similar to when using pigments. I also see it more with acrylic and enamel glosses and not quite as much with lacquer

    I haven’t checked handling fees elsewhere, but yeah, the tariffs are unfortunately out of their hands, shipping is unfortunately due to lack of options that were available before are kinda missing now.

    I gotta agree about his age, I was thinking elementary school

    I’m never really a prequel fan, especially Star Wars prequel stories. As far as this, I guess it would be

    They’ve had several spin off related interviews. Some having to do with the written stuff that I’ll probably never read, and animated thingy and at one time there was going to be one about the Ocho, but I think that her side story was something most people disliked and got shelved

    Looks great. So far I’m usually using lacquers since most of my kits have moving joints, how well do those particular paints you are using hold up on non static models

    I kinda have a feeling that that’s what will eventually happen Love it or not, Stranger things was the Streaming show that everyone thinks of whenever original streaming shows are brought up

    Could try hobby search or another site. Seems None of the American sites are gonna carry them unfortunately. Saw a few moderoid releases pop up on American sites that had preorders after the Mospeada ones and it’s been several weeks since then for Mospeada ride armors.probably a harmony gold blockage due to naming. Places like bbts usually have listings within the same week for preorders after the Japanese sites and often the next day, but it’s been a while

    I guess we finally get a show on D+ in almost a month. Can’t even remember when they added something, let alone something good. Sadly for all the promises, it’s becoming the most worthless streaming service

    I think this season wasn’t bad, just needed a little better focus instead of trying to add so many characters. Last episode was definitely the best of the bunch and kinda surprised to actually hear Iron Maiden in the soundtrack since they rarely put their stuff in soundtracks despite being one of the biggest bands ever, and especially one that still performs and sells massive shows. Great use of the song as well

    Rock and metal made a slight comeback this past year, even though it never really left. It became a bit tough this past year with Ozzy passing. But hard rock and Metal kinda got some big gains with Ghost, Sleep Token and Turnstile making some headless nes and breaking recent records. Anyway, here’s a list of my favorite albums of 2025. There’s still exciting stuff coming out if you dig a little.Castle Rat has a fun fantasy doomy kinda sound making for something entertaining to listen toMorax which Is another fairly recent band, I think they only had one ep before this, but really enjoyable heavy metal. This might be my runner up for favorite album of 2025Nite has had a couple before, but really digging this album. Kinda a really cool classic kinda sound with a vocalist that sounds like an aged sorcererVolbeat had another great one that’s like a mix between thrash and 50’s, early 60’s Rock. Lots of fun happy kinda thing going on here. I’d still say Servant of the Mind was their masterpiece, but this one is definitely good as welland the new one From Ghost is a rather happy upbeat album that has heavy homages to 80’s pop rock. I usually hate when a band completely changes their style from their first album, but this kinda change fits the lore of the band. Unlike their first album which was dark and doomy, this is absolutely joyous and uplifting with unexpectedly positive songs. A really great pick me up.kinda just stumbled on Nyx Division recently. Kinda a power pop mixed with Goth kinda band. Very punchy fun songs. Turn up the bass for this one and crank up the volume and just have fun.and possibly my favorite of the year was the new one from Zig Zags with Deadbeat at Dawn. Fast quick mix of street punk and thrash.lots of fun great sound and perfect for waking you up for a boring trip to work. Lots of really fun stuff in 2025 and hopefully 2026 brings some more great albums

    Trying, still facing some tough stuff from the end of last year, but really hoping for a good year

    They’re definitely paying too much for the actors and not nearly enough to get good writers or quality visual effects. This next movie will have a great number of actors making insane amounts of money and will probably just look ok
  23. Big s
    There’s a potential there for sure, but I doubt it will. Even though their recent movies haven’t done great, this one is making more of a buzz than Fantastic Four. But it will really come down to how good the movie is. If it’s just a crap story trying too hard with that multiverse gimmick that everyone has already been tired of, it could be a major flop. Cramming a bunch of characters together again already seems like it will be a possible disaster and that could make for a tough comeback that will set Disney back pretty far. I don’t think this will be their nail in the coffin though, but they definitely are running out of chances.
  24. Big s
    Yeah, I kinda figured it would be the entertaining pick right now

    That was like fifteen years ago or so. Most kids these days probably don’t even know what Cartoon Network was or even any cable channel. They’re mostly checking out the newest things from crunchy roll or some other streaming services and the Tronime is the majority of what pops up. Sure there’s gonna be shows they will like more that fit other genres like the anime superhero things or even classics, but the majority of what they’ve been exposed to is the stuck in a video game or reincarnated in a video game or the reincarnated from a video game or how to cook or how to camp anime or stuck in a video game and have to learn how to coook or camp. And the ones that don’t even like anime seem to blame those types of shows
